Molly-Mae Hague has candidly spoken out about the ‘savage’ online trolling she receives about her weight and appearance – something that leaves her ‘devastated’

Everything Molly-Mae Hague does seems to garner huge attention these days. But one thing she has spoken out about rarely until now, is how vicious online trolling about her weight has affected her.

Trolls are one of the dark sides of fame – and something the 25-year-old discusses candidly in the latest episodes of her Amazon Prime Video docuseries. Molly, who sky-rocketed to fame on Love Island in 2019 alongside boxer Tommy Fury, with whom she shares daughter Bambi, two, reveals that trolling about her weight can be “savage” and leaves its mark.

As she attends a L’Oréal fashion event, Molly is seen telling make-up artist Val Garland, who is coaxing her to hit the catwalk, “I just couldn’t, these legs aren’t cut out for that – maybe next year.”

Later, when asked how confident she feels in her own skin, Molly admits she’s been on a “journey” after giving birth to Bambi. “I’ve got a lot of stretchmarks. My hips are a lot wider now. Every day, there’s pressure to look a certain way. What’s hard is I see a lot of comments online. When you see hundreds of people writing really negative things about you, my appearance, my weight – it can be a bit savage sometimes.”

And now, a source has claimed to new, “Molly-Mae is very successful but underneath it all, she’s just a very normal girl. It’s overwhelming being in the public eye sometimes, everything is under such scrutiny. She understands it’s the price you pay for a successful career in the spotlight but it does, of course, have an effect on her, the comments about her appearance hurt.”

They added, “She’s been broken-hearted so her confidence took a knock, but her main focus is her daughter and family – not her weight.

“She’s a down-to-earth person and doesn’t try to hide who she is, but that means she knows people will comment on what they see as the good and the bad, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. It’s devastating when people write horrible things about her appearance. No one would sign up for that.”

But Molly also knows how to look confident, even when she’s not feeling it, revealing on the show, “I can walk into a room and pretend that I am.” Admitting as she watched models on the catwalk that she didn’t have the confidence yet, she added that it’s something she’s “really going to work on”.

“A lot of these women walking the catwalk have had children, and they really owned their bodies. When is the cut-off point, where I can’t use the baby as an excuse any more, as to why [I’m]not in shape? I’ll use it forever!”

Body confidence is a lifelong journey, and one that Molly’s touched on before, particularly since welcoming Bambi. She revealed after having her that she was “struggling massively” with her body image – and last summer, confessed her worries about the warmer weather meaning it was “too hot” to cover up in baggy clothes.

Something else that has fans eternally intrigued about the multi-millionaire is Molly’s tumultuous relationship with Tommy – and in the show, she confirms that they’re not only back on but could even be gearing up for baby number two.

Admitting that things are looking “so much better” but predicting there’ll be “bumps” in the road, she says her ultimate hopes are unchanged.

“The dream is still the same – that we will get to the place one day where we’ll all be happy in that house together – have more children hopefully, and just have a nice, happy life together. That’s all I ever wanted.”

Last Wednesday, Molly doubled down on her rekindled romance, sharing a sweet tribute to Tommy on Instagram as he celebrated his 26th birthday.

It’s fair to say, the pair rocked the world of showbiz when they announced their split last summer after five years together – but got tongues wagging after they shared a kiss on New Year ’s Eve, then went on a romantic trip for Valentine’s Day this year.

The news of their reunion follows months of speculation about the true nature of their relationship – and Molly’s intriguing admission in a YouTube video last month that she and Tommy were “figuring things out”, as she revealed she was spending time in both her own home and the new house where Tommy is living.

In one scene of the Prime Video docuseries, Molly’s sister Zoe admits she’s “hated” seeing her so sad, and that all she’s ever wanted for Molly is for her to be “treated right”. “I’ve been there through everything. The upset calls because he’s out in the middle of the night and you haven’t heard from him. He’s proved me wrong so far, but I think to be fair that at some point it’s going to happen again.”

Molly admits in the show that she and Zoe are having the “trickiest time ever” due to her relationship with Tommy.

The challenges ahead, from her own body insecurities to her relationship with Bambi’s dad, seem inevitable. But what Molly’s documentary also shows is her positivity for the future, and the love that remains between her and Tommy.

In one touching moment, as Molly videocalls him from a photoshoot in St Moritz, she asks if he wants to see the view. “I’m enjoying the view I have right now, actually,” he replies. “I want to see that face for eternity.”

Tom Cruise has opened up on how he landed his role in the Oscar-winning film Rain Man after a chance encounter inside a London takeaway with the film’s star Dustin Hoffman

Tom Cruise has shared the serendipitous tale of how he bagged his part in the Oscar-laden film Rain Man, thanks to a random run-in with co-star Dustin Hoffman at a London takeaway.

At BFI Southbank on Sunday, Cruise regaled interviewer Edith Bowman with the story of spotting Hoffman while grabbing a bite with his younger sister, Cass Capazorio.

The 62 year old told the audience: “She said, ‘You’ve got to go over and say you love him.'”

“She doesn’t usually do stuff like that and I don’t walk up to people and introduce myself, but she was so pushy.

“She said, ‘If you don’t, I’m going to.'”

“He had his hat on and was ordering takeout.

“I stood next to him and said, ‘Excuse me, Mr Hoffman, I’m sorry…’ and he looked at me and said, ‘Cruise!'”

“That’s how I met him.

“As I was leaving, he said, ‘I want to make a movie with you,’ and I said, ‘That would be nice.’

“A year later he sent Rain Man to me.”

The 1988 film turned out to be one of Cruise’s defining dramatic performances, earning eight Academy Award nods and four wins, including best picture and best actor for Hoffman.

Cruise also reminisced about an early trip to Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, where he was chauffeured by a studio driver who had previously worked with British director Sir David Lean.

“I always ask drivers what movies they’ve worked on – and one said he drove David Lean during Lawrence of Arabia,” Cruise revealed.

“He started telling me stories and eventually took me to the parking place where he used to drop him off.”

Sir David is hailed as a titan of British cinema, with monumental classics like The Bridge On The River Kwai and Lawrence Of Arabia to his credit.

Cruise disclosed how he passed on the chance to immediately follow up the 1986 smash hit Top Gun with a sequel.

“The studio wanted me to make Top Gun immediately – they were talking about the sequels,” Cruise reminisced.

He noted, “I said no. As a young artist, I felt I wanted to develop my talent in different areas.”

Further elaborating on his artistic drive, Cruise shared, “I wanted to understand myself more and challenge myself more with different types of movies.”

In a tragic twist following the untimely death of Liam Payne last October, it’s emerged the former One Direction star left no will – leaving his ex Cheryl Tweedy and a top industry lawyer in charge of sorting out his multi-million-pound estate.

The singer, who shared son Bear with Cheryl, reportedly left behind an estate worth £24.3 million – and now legal experts say the lack of a formal will could pave the way for potential challenges.

Craig Ridge, a contentious probate lawyer at Higgs LLP, told The Mirror exactly what’s happening with Liam’s fortune, and what might come next.

What’s happening to Liam’s estate?

“Liam Payne’s fortune left behind is reportedly worth £24.3 million,” Mr Ridge explains. “Alongside his successful music career, he has co-owned and co-founded various ventures, including music publishing and real estate companies.

“It has been reported that more than half of his fortune is set to go to his son, Bear, though details about the remaining portion of the estate have not been confirmed.”

What about Bear’s inheritance?

Liam’s young son, Bear – who he shared with former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl – is now expected to inherit the bulk of his father’s estate. But as Mr Ridge explains, that doesn’t mean the child will gain immediate access to the cash.

“In the UK, the minimum age to legally inherit directly is 18,” Ridge says. “Assets for a minor beneficiary are held on trust until they reach that age.

“However, if there is a will, then depending upon how that will is drafted, the testator can seek to create a situation whereby a beneficiary or beneficiaries must reach a certain age beyond 18 to potentially access their inheritance.

Could Liam’s estate be challenged?

While Liam wasn’t married at the time of his death, his girlfriend Kate Cassidy may still have grounds to claim part of the fortune, Mr Ridge warns – especially given that no legal will was left.

“As Liam has not left a will, with UK intestacy rules, his son Bear will most likely claim the entire estate as there is no spouse or siblings,” Mr Ridge explains.

“However, this can be contested on certain grounds, which can often be the case in substantial estates, as seen with high-profile figures like Michael Jackson’s will, Nelson Mandela’s, J. Howard Marshall II and Jimi Hendrix.

“Disputes often arise when individuals feel they have been unfairly excluded or believe they received less than they need.”

So could Kate Cassidy challenge the estate?

“Under UK law, individuals who were financially dependent on the deceased may have grounds to claim reasonable financial provision, even if they are not married,” says Mr Ridge.

“This means that his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, could potentially be considering a claim. Such claims are complex and subject to many legal conditions and evidential requirements.

“The challenge would need to be initiated within six months of the Grant of Letters of Administration, so time is a critical factor here.”

With such a sizeable estate and a high-profile name, Mr Ridge warns that without a will, disputes are almost inevitable.

David Beckham has seemingly turned to social media to hint he has his eldest son on his mind after weeks of reports he is clashing with his firstborn and his daughter-in-law

David Beckham has seemingly attempted to connect with his eldest son via social media amid reports of a feud within the family. Fans of the fame hungry family will be aware the rumours and reports of a rift between Brooklyn, 26, and his billionaire heiress wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have been simmering since their 2022 marriage.

While at first there were tales of tension between Nicola and former Spice Girl mother-in-law Victoria Beckham – which they later appeared to try to silence by supporting each other both online and at events and fashion shows in real life – things took a turn in recent weeks when it was implied Brooklyn had clashed with younger brother Romeo Beckham, 22, and his choice of girlfriend; Kim Turnbull, 24.

Evidence of tension hit new heights last week when Brooklyn a his wife appeared to snub David’s 50th birthday celebrations by skipping parties in the UK and France and by failing to pay tribute to his landmark year on social media. Now there is evidence that David is desperately trying to connect to Brooklyn online.

On Sunday, America celebrated Mother’s Day – almost a month and a half after the annual holiday was marked in the UK. Despite being from the UK, David seized upon the symbolic holiday to share a photo of wife Victoria with all four of their children.

The former footballer shared a vintage snap of Vicky with daughter Harper Seven back when she was a baby laying on her chest – while Brooklyn, Romeo and third son Cruz flanked the singer-turned-designer on either side.

He captioned the image: “Happy Mother’s Day to the best mommy. To all our friends in the U.S. Happy Mother’s Day.” He also noticeably tagged his sons – including Brooklyn. Fans have surmised that the footballer may be trying to send a message to his son via his Mother’s Day post.

The Mirror has contacted representatives of both David and Brooklyn for comment. The latest update comes hours after Brooklyn appeared to confront reports of tension between him and his dad in a weekend newspaper interview.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, the social media influencer explained that watching Formula E racing brings him closer to his dad. He told the outlet: “It’s something that me and my dad bonded over. My dad’s had some pretty cool cars.”

A feud is said to have sparked between the eldest Beckham offspring and the rest of the clan after Romeo Beckham started dating Kim Turnball – who was previously romantically linked to Brooklyn a few years ago. Since the claims, Brooklyn has snubbed paying tribute to his parents David, 50, and Victoria, 51, on their birthdays and missed out on their celebrations.

A source has claimed: “There has been no call, no contact, nothing. As parents, David and Victoria are concerned for their son and they have tried to get in touch but he isn’t interested.

“David even tried through social media last Monday because he fears that his son won’t know that he and Victoria love him so dearly otherwise,” they added to the Daily Mail.

David is said to have shared how he missed his son during a birthday fishing trip to Scotland, after reaching out to him on social media but, it has been said that Brooklyn “isn’t interested at all” despite his parents’ attempts to let him know “they are all there for him when he’s ready to talk”.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that there are beliefs that Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz, who wed in April 2022, “must be behind” the family fallout.

Around the time Nicola and Brooklyn wed, rumours of a feud between the American actress and fashion designer Victoria have been swirling. Nicola’s friends recently claimed “emotional abuse and toxic behaviour” are the reasons behind the fallout. However, David and Victoria reject the claims and are outraged by the suggestions.

A source close to the Beckhams recently told the Mirror: “I don’t think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack. It doesn’t even warrant a response it’s so ludicrous and patently untrue.”

Molly-Mae Hague has proved her rekindled romance with Tommy Fury is the real deal as she goes Instagram official. The Love Island star, 25, proudly showed off her family in the snap on social media.

She kissed Tommy on the lips as he held their daughter Bambi in his arms. The trio tucked into ice creams on their sunny day out together as a reunited family.

Molly-Mae revealed to fans that her romance was back on with her former fiancé in her Amazon Prime series. The fan-favourite couple shocked fans last summer when they announced their split.

They had met on Love Island back in 2019 and went on to build their dream life together, welcoming daughter Bambi in 2023. However, things came crashing down when they released split statements on their social media in August.

After sharing their reunion with fans, Molly-Mae posted a candid response to her documentary. She said: “I’m so overwhelmed by the response to the last three episodes of ‘Molly-Mae: Behind it all’.

“Opening up again wasn’t any easier than the first time… I was so nervous to share more but seeing how much it’s resonated with people has meant everything to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart… PS. Do you want more?”

Speaking in a new episode of her Prime Video docuseries, Behind It All Part II, Molly-Mae spoke candidly about her relationship with Tommy following their split, saying that “things are looking so much better”.

Speaking in the sixth episode of her docuseries, the influencer shared an update on her relationship which she described was “worth saving”. She also shared her concerns for the future and that she does not want to rush anything with Tommy but to take “things slow”.

Molly-Mae said: “I love Tommy so much and I love our family so much that I’m willing to ride the wave. And that’s not something that everyone wants to do, but it’s something that I’m willing to do because I want my family.”

“He’s just really different these days. Obviously, he knows it’s the drink. He’s not drank now for what, four months? I don’t think the drinks gone away forever. Do I think that drink could still be a problem for us, potentially? Yeah, but I think the break-up showed Tommy that I’m serious. He’s just really different these days.”

She also spoke her recent secret holiday with Tommy and Bambi that she described as “picture perfect”. “Dubai was picture perfect, like it was just the best trip ever,” Molly-Mae gushed.

“It literally just felt like everything I wanted it to be, and more. It was exactly what we needed. All the noise of everyone, just like it just switched off everyone’s opinions. Nothing mattered. It was just like us in our bubble.”

She insisted: “Things are looking so much better for us. I’m gonna start spending more time at Tommy’s house, keeping things slow and not rushing anything.

“But, as always, I always say I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t think it’s gonna be a plain sailing future. I don’t, that’s just me being honest. I think we’re still gonna have bumps.

“The dream is still the same that, you know, we’ll get to a place one day when we will all be happy in that house together and have more children, hopefully, and just have a really nice, happy life together. That’s all I’ve ever wanted for us.”

However, Molly-Mae added: “I don’t want to get too excited, but I’m getting glimmers of what I always wanted, which is, my family. I know that we have got something completely worth saving but you never know what’s around the corner.”
